** Archduke Fisher supposedly might be this to Carrot Top, in regard to their virtues of generosity and altruism. Both are extremely selfless, but while Carrot Top is generous because she believes others have value and deserve help, Fisher is generous because he thinks that individuals do not have value, himself included, and only groups matter, so what he (and others) have must be sacrificed for the good of the group.*** This arc got dropped when Siege of Stalliongrad was ruled non-canon.** Duke Greengrass is more so an example of WhatMightHaveBeen. He wound up opposing Lyra more than the other Elements, and both exemplify loyalty — but while both are deathly loyal to their close friends and allies, Lyra is also loyal to those further away for her, while the Duke is quite willing to 'weed' anyone who isn't under his protection. He also harshly punishes those who are disloyal to him, while Lyra is more forgiving. However, because this arose late in the character's development, this aspect of the character wasn't as pronounced.

** In the first draft of 'A Hard Bargain', Big Mac and Caramel were revealed to be employees of the Network, a combination of the A-Team and the Leverage crew who acted as vigilantes to fight evil and right great wrongs. This was later redacted for clashing with existing continuity (for instance, the Night Court would both know of and disallow such a group, and Trixie would report them as soon as she found out about them).

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As a shared universe, the series has plenty of examples, and Rainbow Double Dash and the other authors have revealed various deleted scenes and concepts they considered.** Before Cheerilee, ''Roseluck'' was originally considered as one of the Lunaverse bearers. RDD selected the Six before distributing Elements, with Trixie as Magic being the only one set in stone; if Roseluck had made the final cut, the others could've gotten different Elements as a result.*** On a similar note, RRD has also stated that if ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E22HurricaneFluttershy Hurricane Fluttershy]]'' had aired before the Lunaverse was already being posted, it's likely that Flitter or Cloudchaser would've replaced Raindrops because of the potential of that built-in family dynamic. Probably for the best, since Raindrops is best pony.** Trixie was originally going to maintain her ThirdPersonPerson tendencies, but as a habit she was trying to break.** Early on, Twilight was still going to have Spike for a companion; this would have been a double-edged sword, as he'd goad her into challenging Trixie, but ''Boast Busted'' wouldn't have ended [[DownerEnding so sadly]]. (Which could've effected the whole tone of the Lunaverse...)** During ''Longest Night, Longest Day'', all of the Mane Six would've been shown to have been incapacitated during Corona's return.
